A Computationally Efficient Stochastic Method for Quantifying the Effects of Multi‐Surrogate Model Uncertainty on Saltwater Remediation Optimization

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Machine learning models are highly potential to substitute computationally intensive numerical simulation models in saltwater intrusion (SWI) remediation optimization. However, uncertainty inherent in machine learning models can propagate through predictions into optimization, resulting in inaccurate solutions.

Reinforcement Learning‐Assisted Meta‐Heuristics for Scheduling Job Shops With Material Handling Robots

open access: yesIET Collaborative Intelligent Manufacturing, Volume 8, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study addresses an integrated job shop scheduling problem with material handling robots, aiming to minimise the maximum completion time. Three meta‐heuristics, seven local search strategies and two reinforcement learning algorithms are proposed to solve the problems.

Formal Memetic Algorithms

open access: yes, 1994
A formal, representation-independent form of a memetic algorithm -- a genetic algorithm incorporating local search -- is introduced. A generalised form of N-point crossover is defined together with representation-independent patching and hill-climbing ...

Application of Metaheuristic Optimisation Methods to the Design of Guided‐Mode Resonance Filters: A Comparative Study

open access: yesIET Optoelectronics, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
In this paper, we have reviewed six distinct metaheuristic optimisation algorithms applicable to challenging problems in electromagnetics and optics. Specifically, we applied each method to the synthesis of GMR narrowband reflection filters and performed a systematic comparative evaluation. ABSTRACT The design of optical elements often requires precise

Heterogeneous cooperative co-evolution memetic differential evolution algorithms for big data optimisation problems

open access: yes, 2017
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have recently been suggested as candidate for solving big data optimisation problems that involve very large number of variables and need to be analysed in a short period of time.

A study on meme propagation in multimemetic algorithms

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2015
Multimemetic algorithms (MMAs) are a subclass of memetic algorithms in which memes are explicitly attached to genotypes and evolve alongside them. We analyze the propagation of memes in MMAs with a spatial structure.

Comprehensive Study of DC Microgrids Protection: Challenges, Cutting‐Edge Techniques, Machine‐Learning‐Driven Solutions

open access: yesIET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the evolving protection challenges within DC microgrids powered by renewable resources and energy storage systems. It begins by delineating the methodological framework of conventional protection, critically assessing schemes based on current, voltage, and impedance to expose their limitations

Classification of adaptive memetic algorithms: A comparative study

open access: yes, 2006
Adaptation of parameters and operators represents one of the recent most important and promising areas of research in evolutionary computations; it is a form of designing self-configuring algorithms that acclimatize to suit the problem in hand. Here, our
